Artists Beit Midrash Thrives At Skirball

The Skirball Center for Adult Jewish Learning offers 2 unique study groups: a beit midrash (“house of study”) for artists and a second one for writers. Having attended the Skirball program myself 5 years ago, I was drawn specifically to its visual aspect—students explore Jewish sources and create new visual commentaries inspired by those texts.I finished the semester exhilarated by the learning and discussions led by Rabbi Leon Morris, who co-founded the program 9 years ago with Tobi Kahn. This year Rabbi Lewis S. Warshauerand Tobi Kahn led the courses.
